Well it has been a while since I got to this story. Sorry everyone, just had some issues to deal with. between losing this chapter and being force to start over and just life itself I took a break from this until I got the spark for it back. as you can see I am back and ready for more.
Funny thing how this came to be. I was challenged by one of the co-writers, wolfpackersson09, to making a writing story with Rias and her peerage. I read the story and I liked it enough to give it a shot. I hope I can do the characters justice here.
Disclaimer; I do not own anything from Kim Possible nor High School DxD. I don't even own the story. That is own my shadowwriter329 and Wolfpackersson09, I am simply using this with their permission. …wait? Does that mean I have not succeeded in anything?
The Tale of the Stoppable Phenex
Issei and Asia were nervous as they walked behind Rias inside her home. Well, home was a basic term as it was a large mansion…a very large mansion. It has been over a week since Rias sent the book to her brother and then just last night received a message that asked Rias to come home and that the whole peerage was invited. This surprised Rias but still complied with the request. The heiress wondered what her parents wanted and while she hoped it was about the book she felt it was about the arrangement with the Phenex Family. Finally, the maid leading them opens the door to one of the meeting rooms and beckons them inside. Rias went in first and smiled seeing both her parents as well as her brother and his wife sitting at the long table with her brother at the head of the table. "Mother, father" Rias greeted with a smile before she turned to her peerage or more importantly her newest members. "Asia, Issei, these are my parents, Lord and Lady Gremory. Mother, father, these are Asia and Issei my bishop and pawn pieces."
"Welcome to our home," lord Gremory greeted. He was a fair built looking man with the same shade of hair as his daughter.
"Yes, it is always good to see more members of our daughter's peerage," lady Gremory added. While it was clear where Rias got her hair, it was very clear where Rias gets her beauty from. Issei was amazed and kept from saying anything. A pervert he may be and he would never deny it but he knew this was someone's wife and held restraint with the husband next to her.
Asia blushed and nodded, "Ah, thank you for having us."
They smiled at the girl before Rias held her hand to the other man in the room. "And this is my older brother Sirzech who is also the new Satan Lucifer."
Issei gapped while Asia gasped softly as they stared at the man sitting before them. He looked a lot like Rias with the same crimson hair and wore golden armor. The devil chuckle, "Good to see you both. I hope you have been taking good care of my baby sister."
Both nodded while Rias pouts slightly. Sirzech nodded to the silver hair maid behind him, "And this is Grayfia, my queen piece and also my wife."
Grayfia bowed her head, in greetings. Once all interdictions were finish and the peerage have taken their seats, Rias looked to her family. "May I ask why you have called us here?"
Sirzech said nothing before he pulled out a certain book. The group blinked at this, "The book?" Rias asked.
Sirzech nodded, "Yes, when you came to be with the discovery of this book I had my co-worker Ajuka look it over. Seeing as my baby sister was mention within the first paragraph I had a right to be concern. But what Ajuka discovered baffles me."
The group leaded forward to find out what was discovered. Sirzech went on, "What he discovered is that this book was not created by any sort of god, anything from heaven nor made through a scared gear. For all intense and purposes, it is just a plain old book made by a mortal."
The group was stunned. Sure Asia had gotten the book from one of her request but to hear something with them in it was just a simply book? It also baffled them. "So…it's safe to keep reading?" Rias asked.
Her father nodded, "Of course. After it was brought to your brother's attention and the discovery we have taken time to see why you were interested in it. After recalling you saying you were reading it with your peerage we felt you should not be left out as we find out more of this book."
"So we get to read more?" Asia asked softly, wanting to hear more of the friends her character was making.
Sirzech nodded, "We shall all read together. Anyone mind if I start us off?"
No one had any issues as the Satan started off reading "Chapter Five,"
Kim looked around the sports field at the number of gathering students. It has been a few days since their little adventure to save Asia and Kim was glad the girl was adjusting so well. Asia became Rias's bishop thus making her a part of her peerage and to be close to her friend Issei.
Asia smiled hearing this as did her friends. Rias happy that she didn't miss out on her bishop and Issei happy that she was with them again.
Even as she was transferred into the academy the former nun has made friends with both members of the peerage and Kim could tell the girl has never been happier. Asia has even moved in with the other girls in the small dorm that Ron had gotten for them not far from the school. Rias wanted to have Asia stay with Issei in his home but Kim said it would be rude to bring even someone as innocent as Asia onto his parents to help care for when there was plenty of room at the dorm where the other slept. Not wanting to be any trouble she decided to stay at the dorms which caused Rias to pout.
Rias pouts here seeing as Kim ruined her fun there, which caused her parents to chuckled at her actions. Issei tilts his head not sure what to think about it. Asia also thought it over and thought that while she enjoyed staying at Issei she knew that her character had plenty of friends to be with in the dorm.
"So how will we be doing this?" Bonnie asked from behind Kim with Sona next to her.
Kim turned to them, "after I explain to all the students here what we are looking for we will have them do a few simple routines to see where they stand and we will pick the best ones to become a member."
"What are they doing?" Kiba asked confused.
"It sounds like some sort of audition," Akeno said trying to image it.
Issei however frowned finding it still shocking to hear that the president was a devil like Rias. He did however wonder why she was there.
Sona adjusted her glasses and asked "that seems fair enough. What about them?"
Bonnie and Kim followed where she was pointing and saw she was pointing to three boys in tracksuits stretching but not doing that good of a job. Issei was next to two other boys, one with a shave head and one with large glasses and shaggy brown hair.
Issei beamed hearing his two friends and the other part of their trio.
From their short time at the school they learned of the infamous perverted trio and how Issei is part of that group. Kim frowned slightly, "Well, cheerleading is not strictly girls only even if it is rare for guys to be part of the team so we will treat them like any recruit."
"Cheerleading?" Rias echoed surprised.
"Well there is no team or club of that style at school," Kiba reminded her.
Issei grinned thinking of seeing Rias, Asia, Akeno and Koneko in cheerleading uniforms. Koneko noticed the look and scowled. It was ashamed they weren't in the club house otherwise she would have thrown something at him.
Bonnie scowled, "Part of me wants to give them the routine I gave you when you first joined. The other part of me wants to fry all three of them and leave them somewhere to be beaten."
Kim sighed, "Bonnie we have to be fair."
Sona nodded even if she felt like she shouldn't.
Asia could not keep the smile off her face as she was sitting with her legs spread and reaching forward while Akeno helped her stretch. "I've never seen anything like this before. But it looks like fun."
Tara grinned not far from her, "I'm sure you will go great for your first time. Besides you look cute in the uniform."
Once again Issei gained a perverted look while the rest of the girls of the peerage wondered how cute the uniforms really were.
It was true most of the girls were wearing the uniform to try out in and most were excited. Asia nodded even if she was embarrassed by the small skirt. She frowned as she was pushed some more and started to feel pain, "Umm, Akeno-sempai, it's starting to hurt."
Akeno however had a grin on her face had a small blush on it, "Oh more just a little more."
Akeno giggled imagining the pain Asia must be feeling and slightly upset that she could not really get details or hear the screams and moans.
Tara looked her way and quickly move over, "Hey Akeno maybe you can help me out. I really want to be nice and limber."
Akeno paused and stopped pushing Asia, much to her relive. "Oh I think I can manage that."
Over with the judges Bonnie groaned and face palmed, "we will have to keep those two part after this now."
Kim and Sona looked at her, "Why?" Kim asked.
"Yes why?" Rias could not help but ask.
Bonnie pointed to the pair, Tara in the same position as Asia as Akeno was pushing Tara's back. The only thing was Tara was much more flexible and was more forwards but they noticed both Tara and Akeno had blushes on their faces as Kim could tell it was starting to get painful for Tara. "Tara, as much I like love her as a friend, is a masochist and a major one at that. The fact that Akeno is a sadist doesn't help in the matter."
Akeno blinked hearing this before she gained a grin, "Oh it's so nice to hear we have a friend who loves pain so much. Rias, do you think we can find this girl or any sort of girl like that?"
Rias gave her queen a deadpan look. "No…just no."
Akeno simple moaned in disappointment.
Kim could not help but stare before she decides the students had enough time stretching and possible keep Tara or Akeno from wetting their panties in pleasure.
Akeno now pouts, "That's no fair. I find someone who loves pain and she just go and stops the fun."
"I'm sure she's trying to keep you two decent," Rias admitted. While she wasn't a prude even for a virgin devil, she didn't want her friend preforming sexual actual through her sadism in public for everyone to see.
The students assembled in a group before Kim as she spoke aloud, "Alright first I would like to thank everyone for coming. Before we start I want to let everyone know what they are getting into." She started to pace in front of them as some of them wondered what she meant, "if you think being a cheerleader simply means waving your pom-poms and saying a few peppy cheers then you're wrong." She stopped and looked at them all, "cheerleading is about keeping the crowd excited as the game goes on. To keep the crowd cheering for the team and keep them motivated. Back home there are competitions to show how good their teams are at their movements, their teamwork and how they keep the energy going. Now Bonnie and I will be seeing how well you all do with a few routines while Sona will make sure we are not bias. So shall we get started?"
The group was surprised as Sirzech finished reading. "I never thought of it that way," Rias said.
"It is an interesting way to look at it" Akeno agreed.
"Passionate," Koneko added with a nod.
Lady Gremory giggled, "I find it refreshing."
Sirzech looked at his wife with a smile, "It seems she has her heart into this cheerleading almost as much as you do when it comes to being a maid."
Grayfia nodded seeing it, "I do believe one much have passion for the things they love and believe in. I approve of Kim's approach to this."
There wasn't that much in disagreement as each girl would be called to perform a routine by name. Once it started, there were various girls that wanted to be cheerleaders for one reason or another, but some of the initial cheer squad potentials were...less than impressive.
Several of the group felt bad for the girls trying out but without more details they weren't sure how bad they did. Asia was worried how she would do and if she was one that didn't do well. Issei was pouting as he didn't hear any detail of how the girls looked each time as well as if they showed any panties.
"Gremory, Rias." Kim called out as Rias came out,
Rias blinked surprised and she wasn't the only one. "me?"
"So it seems," Kiba replied with a raised brow.
Lady Gremory smiled at her daughter, "I'm sure you will impress them dear."
Her husband nodded, "Yes I have no doubts about that."
Rias was quite wondering if she could possibly get the role of a cheerleader. Issei had to hold back his drooling at the picture in his head of Rias in a cheerleader's uniform.
and while it was strange that someone belonging to one club would try out for another, it was actually somewhat interesting for most of the girls to try out, and Rias performed a routine that was given, and did so well. More time, and routines had passed and Kim suggested a break to discuss the potential entrants.
Rias actually smiled hearing that her character did so well. She didn't have much doubt but it was still great to hear.
"So, some of the candidates are actually doing pretty well, for the most part." Kim said as she, Bonnie and Sona were discussing it.
"Well? Were you watching the same routines as I? Most of everyone is sloppy and would drag everyone down!"
"Rockwaller-san, while your assessment is harsh, it is fairly accurate. The only ones that had impressed me so far are Rias, Akeno, and Koneko. Asia did fine, but she was still a little stiff in her movements." Sona mentioned,
Rias, Akeno and Koneko (who was surprised to hear she tried out) were smiling hearing that they did good while Asia was nervous. Yes, Sona did say she did fine but the fact she was still stiff worried for how she would do overall.
but Kim decided to mention something.
"Well, most of the girls trying out don't have much to work with in comparing between us, and Asia never did anything like this before, so it's understandable if she's a little stiff." It was an agreeable statement, but they still had a few more participants, which included the Perverted Trio.
Issei beamed wanting to how him or his friends do.
The three boys stood off to the side all grinning ready, not really noticing that all the female here were keeping their distance and glaring at them. When the trio heard of the try outs they planned on watching hoping to see some sexy girls in short skirts and with their kicks possibly a few panties. However, Issei came up with a plan, after overhearing Kim tell Rias that they would not stop boys from trying out, that they tried out and joined the team, which would allow them perfect excuses to be near the girls and possible get a few of them to go out with them.
Issei gapped before he pumped his fist excited and thinking his character was a genius. Rias smiled softly at him while Kiba shook his head. Akeno was giggling while Koneko gave him a deadpan look. Lord Gremory and Sirzech had small smiles knowing they would love to see their wives dressed as cheerleaders in the short skirts.
They all felt confident as their goal of perverted pride was on the line. Matsuda went first as he felt as a former jock he stood a perfect chance to become a member of the team.
Issei nodded confident on his friend.
Matsuda, who has fair skin and a shaven head, is overall not a good looking guy. He started out with a few kicks and jumped as he waved the pom-poms. The three judging him were actually getting bored with the simple and weak routine before it happened. With a large jump with his legs spread he landed with his feet apart before both of them slipped and spread even more until he hit the ground, "Ohhhhh!" Matsuda cried out with a dreadfully painful look on his face as he held his crouch.
Issei gained a look of horror and crossed his legs feeling for his friend. The other males winced and slightly crossed their legs, even Kiba. Koneko nodded approving of this, Asia looked worried that Issei might get hurt and Akeno giggled happily.
His two friends winced for their fallen friend and the other girls could not help but let out an 'oohhhh,' seeing the split. Kim grimaced knowing that an incorrect split was painful but can be worst for a guy. Bonnie has a small smirk amused, "Well that was his best trick by far but I don't think it was enough."
"So evil," Issei muttered.
As the crying boy was taken off the field the second member of the trio came up nervous but still determined. Motohama had messy brown hair and glasses that glinted in the light as he grinned. When he started it was slower and even worst then his friend beforehand. As he attempted to do a cartwheel his arms could not take his weight and they collapsed under him and he landed face first in the grass. Everyone blinks as Motohama moaned still in the grass. "Wow," Bonnie muttered in a dull tone, "and here I thought I would not see a worst performance then the last one. Congratulations, you're an even bigger failure."
Issei sighed feeling bad for his friend and how harsh Bonnie was being. But he gained a glint in his eyes when he realized it was his turn.
Motohama got off the field depressed before Issei got into place all ready. Sona leaned over and whispered to the other two, "Are you two going to go easy on him because he is in Rias's peerage?"
Issei's breath was hitched, hoping beyond hope.
Bonnie scoffed as he got started with a few cheerful jumps that looked like jumping jacks to her, "If anything we would go harder seeing that he is a devil and can handle stuff more. I still think he's weak for someone that's worth eight pawns."
Issei moaned disappointedly hearing not only her bad mouthing her but also they were going harder on him. 'How was that fair?' he could not help but wonder.
Issei felt he was doing well, at least he did not fail and hurt himself like his friends. As he ran to perform a flying jump he slipped on a pom-pom Motohama left on the field. He cried out as he slipped and flipped backwards and landed on his head. He stayed hunched over with his back bending as the pom-poms he let go landed on his feet. Giggles were heard from the girls and Bonnie face palmed, "Okay I think we can all agree those losers are on the bottom of the pile of rejects."
"Sorry Issei," Kim muttered at his disappointed look.
Issei slumped over, his head resting on the table as anime tears flowed down his face.
"Issei was actually the closest of the three to passing in my opinion, but I was the mascot for the school and not the cheer squad. Something about girls only. Although, Rias really lucked out convincing a Longinus wielder to join her." Ron mentioned as Issei managed to walk it off, even though as a Devil he could do more tricks with proper training.
"Longinus?" Kim asked, wondering about the term as Sona decided to explain.
This got Rias's parents attention as well as her brother's and his wife. They all looked at Issei, but the boy didn't notice as he was still moping over his character's lost.
"Longinus is a term for thirteen Sacred Gears that have the power to slay even the gods and Buddha of the Heavenly realm. Among them include the Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing." Bonnie and Kim went wide-eyed at the end of the explanation, completely surprised that someone that would be seen as a perverted loser actually had something that could kill deities.
"W-wow, if Issei has one of these Longinus things..." Kim said, but couldn't find the words as it was still unbelievable to hear. Then again, she concluded that truth was far stranger than fiction, even science fiction. Then they turned their attention to two more students that were ready to try out: Murayama and Katase.
Rias blinked and turned to Akeno, "Which students are those?"
"I believe they're a part of the Kendo club" Akeno replied.
Murayama was an attractive, well-developed girl with brown hair and dark brown eyes with her hair tied in two pigtails. She did well fairly well with her routine, possibly because she was part of the Kendo Club and had some physical conditioning prior.
Ron watched as the two girls preformed the routines. While it was not up to the skill some of the other girls that have been cheerleaders for years they were doing really well. From what he remembered they were part of a kendo club and quite skilled at it. Seeing how they moved he saw they were flexible as well. He could not help but think they would make decent pawns. They were trained slightly so he would not have to start from the ground up like Rias has to do with Issei.
Rias hummed in thought as she hadn't considered either of them to be pawns before she got Issei. She had to admit that Ron had a point. Issei, who had recovered from his pity fest, scowled at the dis Ron gave him. "He has a point you know," Kiba pointed out.
"No one asked you pretty boy!"
As they finished he nodded thinking he would talk to them after wards and possible ease the conversation to the issue of making them devils. 'Maybe I should ask Rias for help? She is considered one of the two great ladies so I might be able convince them with her help.'
Rias giggled mischievously at this thought. While she had no more pawns to use it would have been fun to convince them to join.
Kim then stood in front of the crowd, "Alright thank you all for coming out and taking time to try out with us. In a few days I will pose up a list of all students that showed they have the skill to join the squad. We can't have everyone join so I apologies in advance for those that did not make the cut."
The students started to break apart with their friends all talking about how they did or if they would become part of the team. Kim walked over to Bonnie and Sona who was gathering her things, "You're too nice Kim" Bonnie stated plainly.
"I think she handled it rather well," Lady Gremory pointed out, "Polite enough yet explained that they will not take everyone so there would not be much backlash on her. Fine traits of a leader."
Lord Gremory nodded in agreement, "Indeed. I can see her being of great help to her king in the future."
Kim sighed "Well I think it would be better to let them know gently instead of telling them all you didn't do good enough right to their faces."
"I would have done it easily," Bonnie added getting Kim to shake her head.
Ron however moved to Rias and whispered to her ear. Rias interest peeked and nodded. Ron moved over to Murayama and Katase who was talking to their friends, "Hey Murayama, Katase, can we talk to the two of you?"
"R-really!?" Katase, a very attractive young lady with light brown hair and amber brown eyes, said, excited that an international foreign (not that anyone in America cared) celebrity was talking to them, in addition to one of the great ladies of Kuoh Academy.
Sirzech chuckled, "I wonder how the Phenex family would handle hearing they have a member that is world famous. At least without them finding out he is a devil at least."
Lord Gremory nodded, "Yes, I'm sure we'll find out later."
Rias raised a brow wondering what her father meant but turned back to her brother as he read on.
"You want to talk with us?" Murayama asked as well, equally surprised as her closest friend.
"Yes, Ronald has a bit of a proposal for the two of you if you wouldn't mind hearing." Rias added and the two girls nodded fervently wanting to hear what this proposal was about.
(Scene Break)
The two were led to a more private area in the school, one where there wasn't any eavesdropping as Ron made sure that it was just the four of them.
"So, what did you want to talk to us about?" Murayama asked first as Ron then decided to start with the background story. Rias made sure to correct Ron on any points he may have missed as he mentioned the Great War between Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils and that it ended with no one winning. He then went on to say that he was a Devil, alongside Rias, and they both proved it by showing their wings.
"Wait, if you're a Devil, then how come your wings are more like an Angel's?" Katase asked, enthralled by the brilliance of Ron's wings.
Rias frowned annoyingly, "stupid wings don't look angelic."
Lord and Lady Gremory glanced at one another, wondering if she was upset a human girl was calling a devil's wing angelic or because it was the wings of a Phenex.
"Well, that's because my full name is Ron Stoppable Phenex, and some Devils have different wing types. The point is, I'm offering you two the chance to become Devils." Ron finished and noticed that they almost said yes immediately, and decided to add, "But don't make this a rush decision. This decision is one of those huge, and I mean HUGE, changes to your life."
Both girls paused at this at the serious look on his face and on how he was talking to them. Murayama looked at him and said, "We want to do this. We aren't like you and your friend Kim Possible. We're simply teen girls at a good and fancy school."
Katase nodded, "We can't go out across the world and save people like you two can. All we can do in our skill in the kendo club and we don't even know how far that will take us in life. We want to be a part of the world and help it. Something exciting that shows we are not just doing nothing. If we have to be devils to do so, then that's fine with us."
Her friend nodded and as Ron looked into their faces he saw the determined look in their eyes and their resolve set. He smiled glad he now had two loyal members to his peerage.
Rias was surprised to hear the girls' reasoning for why they have accepted so easily. "That was easy."
Akeno giggled, "While yes I will admit that was easy, but it took both of you to persuade them. Then again you aren't really one to talk about how easy it was to gain pieces."
Rias blinked before she turns to her queen, frowning. "And what does that supposed to mean?"
She didn't notice that the rest of her peerage didn't meet her eyes even if she wasn't looking at them. Rias's pouts as her parents and brother chuckled or giggled at her expense.
(Scene change)
A few days have gone by and the new cheer team was stretching for practice and get them use to the routines Kim and the other girls were used to. Rias and Akeno manage to join the team as did Koneko seeing her small size and flexibly made her a great addition.
The girls mention smiled at one another happy they made the team. Koneko felt glad she was picked for her skills rather than if she was just simply cute. However, she pouts at the next line.
The fact she was small and cute didn't hurt at all. Asia was surprise that she manages to make it onto the team but she felt grateful that she accomplished something all by herself.
Asia smiled happy for her character and knew it was something she could be proud of.
Although she was told she still had some work to do to get better she accepted it and was determined to work hard. Yori also tried out and while she was confused with some of the stuff they had to do she was able to handle the moves with ease.
Both of Ron's newly added pawns also made the team and they were glad to be part of it all even more so when they learned of all the other devils that were on the team. The teams were not of Ron or Rias' peerage alone as Sona's queen also made the team. Kim felt it seemed a little unfair that all the girls joining were devils and thought it might be somewhat racist.
Rias blinked, "How is that racist?"
"I think she feels that way because only devils made it onto the team" Kiba pointed out, "And from an outsider's point of view I can understand her concern."
Sona however pointed out the teams were picked for their skill rather than race even if their race was a factor on their skill. Plus, Murayama and Katase manage to join the team officially before they were turned into devils and Kim had to agree with that point.
Right now the ones missing were Rias and Akeno as was Sona's queen. Ron sighed as he explained why they were missing. It turned out Rias and Sona were planning on taking their peerage into a place called The Familiar Forest to gather, well familiar. Ron told her that only one peerage can even go to the forest a month and he allowed Rias and Sona to determine who would go.
Akeno giggled here "Ara, Ara, it seems that we will be competing for our spot again."
Rias smirked confident in her character. Part of her was glad that Ron wasn't also trying to go as well otherwise it would be harder to get their spot.
"Why did you let them go first?" Murayama asked as Ron explained that the two kings and queen were settling who goes in a tennis match.
Rias blinked "That is a good question."
Kiba had one thought for a reason "maybe he didn't want to get caught in the crossfires between the two of you."
Ron shrugged, "Well it seems fair to let them go as they have members needing a familiar that they had for a while and I just had the two of you join so I figured I should let them go first and save the hassle."
"Do you have a familiar Ron?" Kim asked.
Ron laughed as Rufus climbed up and presented himself on Ron's shoulder as if he was a star. "Do you have to ask? Rufus is my familiar. One of the reasons he is even smarter than any other naked mole rat."
Kim raised a brow and thought that made sense seeing as Rufus had some things in the past that no normal naked mole rat can do. "Do the others have familiar?"
Bonnie grinned "Only you and the new girls don't have any. You have some work to catch up to us."
Tara held up her hand and a magic seal appeared as she called her familiar, which appeared to be a doll-sized fairy with a paintbrush. "This is my familiar, a Leanan Sidhe, a fairy that gives inspiration to artists, but it comes at the price of one's life force, so legends say of course." The fairy nodded at Tara's explanation as she landed on the shoulder of her mistress.
Lady Gremory nodded, "A fair familiar for a young lady."
Then Jessica summoned her familiar, which was a snow white wolf, with some ice blue highlights in its fur. "My turn! My familiar is a Fenrir, an Ice Wolf. They are said to be the descendants of the very same Fenrir that was born to Loki, but this little guy is an excellent guard dog and winter hunter." Jessica said as she petted the wolf and it licked her.
"Impressive," Grayfia said with a nod.
Sirzech nodded as well, "Yes though from what we recall of her being a werewolf the wolf familiar makes sense."
Hope brought her familiar next, and it was a spider, an abnormally large spider. "My familiar is a Phantasmaraneae, a rare Underworld spider breed, it's still a little one, but when it reaches adulthood...it'll be tough to beat without magic, in addition to being large enough to ride on." The spider calmly stood on its mistress' shoulder, but it didn't do anything to attack.
Lord and Lady Gremory were impressed. "A rare breed of familiar. She'll stand out in later years."
"My turn is next, and it's a good one," Marcella said as she summoned her own familiar, a flowery maiden of great lustful beauty, despite its childish appearance, "Mine is a young Alraune that lost her family, if I can raise her well then I might be able to get more information."
Issei moaned hearing such a beautiful familiar the girl had. Why couldn't the guild suggest something like that for him?
Yori was the next to summon her familiar, and it was a fox, "While my honored familiar is not a creature of supernatural origin, my Tamamo the vixen will surely aid us with honor." Yori spoke as the vixen rubbed up against her.
Monique held put her arm, slightly bent towards her body as she made her own appeared. It was a large gray feathered owl that landed on Monique's arm. While it looked like a larger than normal owl they could see the intelligent in its eyes and very form. "This is Archimedes. Now don't LHLFY, (let his looks fool you) he is one smart cookie. He's said to be a decedent of the owl that was used by Athena."
Once again lord and lady Gremory were impressed. "To have a familiar with a lineage like that. I wonder if she is decent from a Greek hero" Lord Gremory could not help but muse.
Crystal, Liz, and Bonnie were the only ones that had yet to summon their familiars, and they did at the same time. Liz summoned a dark unicorn with a bladed horn. "I got lucky to bond with this one, Diomedes horses are borderline catastrophes to deal with. This one is a proud foal still." Liz explained as she petted the dark furred Diomedes, cautious of the sword-like horn.
Crystal's was a large dog with bat wings and horns. "Labolas hounds are named after the Glasya-Labolas house of the 72 pillars, and are fiercely loyal, like Fenrir's." The demonic hound with red eyes gazed at the group and intimidated Kim slightly and the two new devils as it stood at attention, looking like a large demonic Labrador.
If the adult Gremory were impressed before they were even more so now. "My goodness," Lady Gremory said, "such a rare group of familiar."
"Makes you wonder if we'll see great things from them" Lord Gremory added.
Sirzech chuckled, "I'm interested in seeing this peerage in action. A rating game with them would be interesting."
"I can't summon my familiar, since she is easily moody and large for a young adolescent. I almost got myself killed just to get her to pact with me. My pet Gomorrah dragon was quite feisty for a young teen, but it was worth it to get such a great familiar." Bonnie said with a smirk as she mentioned the power of her dragon.
The group gapped at this. "A dragon?" Issei asked with a gasped.
"And from the sounds of it she is able to control it," Kiba said before he recalled Bonnie saying she nearly died getting the pact made, "Somewhat."
"This peerage is looking more and more impressive," Sirzech said with a grin.
Rias nodded, "I wonder what kind of familiar Kim would get."
"As with Bonnie as her rival I doubt she will pick something small or simple" Akeno pointed out.
Rias gained a look of excitement, "maybe Kim will get a hydra. Then when Issei goes to try and get his familiar again then they both will have powerful ones."
Issei however gained the look of horror at Rias words. He didn't know what was worst, the fact his king still wants him to gain a hydra as a familiar or if Kim got one then Rias would make him work harder to get one too. He didn't want to think about it,
Kim stared at all the familiar around her as the other two were in awe. Kim felt a little nervous at how she will attain one and hope it was something like everyone else's. Kim was surprised at Bonnie's claim but seeing Ron's nod she knew the girl was not lying. Kim frowned at her rival before she smiled slightly at all her friends, "They all look amazing, I hope I can get something as good when I go find a familiar."
The two new girls nodded "I'll say," Katase muttered "You all have amazing guys with you. I don't even know I can handle any of these."
Tara smiled at her, "Don't worry, you find something that's be perfect for you. Just believe and you'll find them in no time."
Most of the devils nodded at this advice. The only ones that didn't were Asia, who smiled happily thinking of her familiar, and Issei who was still looking horrified.
Kim smiled at the faith her friends had in them. From what Ron said they still had months before they have to find their familiar so she knew they had plenty of time to be ready for them.
(Scene change)
"Aww he's so cute," Katase claimed as she looked at the little guy in front of her.
Issei snapped out of his funk at this. He turned to the book excited, hoping the girls were talking about him. He was sorely disappointed however.
It was a few days and Rias's peerage had gotten back from their trip to the familiar forest. Rias did win the chance to go first before Sona even if Kim thought they went a little overboard. Of course the two of them used spells to try and gain an edge and they caused a bit of damage and even if they made people forget about it Kim still gave the two of them a piece of her mind, much to their embarrassment.
Rias gained a look at this, not use to having someone scorn her like that. Her parents had small smiles on their faces, feeling that would have been a good experience for Rias and to know she can't always have her way.
But Rias was able to get her group to go and they were showing the result. Issei said he found something called a slime he wanted as a familiar and even had a name picked out for it but it was killed by Asia's familiar. Kim at first felt sorry for Issei until she found out the slime in question ate clothes and had attacked the girls and eaten almost all their clothes at the time made her just glare at Issei.
Issei slumped over, crying at the death of his perfect familiar and how another girl was hating him for no reason in his opinion. Rias's parents blinked not sure what to think about a devil actually wanting a slime as a familiar. Sirzech chuckled at the boy's antics, finding them very amusing.
Asia familiar however was a rare little creature called a sprite dragon that was very cute (the fact it was a baby did not hurt that issue) and very protective of Asia. She told them he was a cute little guy and only seemed to like girls.
The adult devils were surprised at this and turned to look at Asia. The girl blushed and nodded the unasked question. They were stunned at this girl getting such a rare familiar. Sirzech and Grayfia don't even recall a single devil in history that had a sprite dragon before. It amazed them and thought the girl had promise for the future.
Ron chuckled as the attention the new familiar was getting even if he could not get too close. Issei was all depressed next to him as he did not get a familiar from his trip. "Don't worry about it," he said patting the boy's back. "It took my girls a few times to find their familiars. Heck Bonnie nearly died to gain her. If anything you got lucky Asia found a rare familiar in Rassei."
Issei just moan muttering a name Ron did not understand. Ron looked at the group around Asia and Rassei as the little dragon seemed to like the attention but would only stay in Asia's arms. Ron smiled as he focuses on Kim who was laughing slightly as the little sprite dragon licked her hand. 'Even if we have to wait for a little while I know you would find a great familiar Kim. Someone as powerful and willful as you would settle for nothing less.'
Rias nodded seeing Kim will no doubt have a powerful one in the future. Sirzech closed the book as the chapter was finished "very entertaining. I find this peerage to be very interesting."
Grayfia nodded before another maid came over and whispered something into her ear. She nodded and addressed everyone, "Lord Gremory your guest has just arrived."
"Very good," Lord Gremory said with a nod "You may bring them here Grayfia."
Grayfia nodded and left the room. Rias looked at her parents confused while the rest of the peerage looked at one another wondering who was Grayfia talking about.
So How was it? We got some new readers joining and even more in the next one. I hope I did the new characters justice as I don't know much of some of them. However the question is who is the special guest? The answer is in the next chapter so wait until then.
